Trial Summary

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial requires that you continue taking clopidogrel, but you may need to stop other anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, except for intradialytic heparin, which is allowed.

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests MK-2060, a new drug to prevent blood clots, in patients with severe kidney disease. It is used with clopidogrel, a common anti-clotting medication. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and well-tolerated.
